Monday while sitting with his girlfriend in a parked car outside the West Philadelphia gym where he trained. Investigators were unsure why he took his life.
He was only weeks away from the show's March 7 premiere.
Percy "Buster" Custus, a trainer who had worked with him since Turpin was 12, said the boxer had enjoyed his experiences with the show but seemed troubled in recent weeks.
He said Turpin abruptly left a training camp in the Poconos and returned home to Philadelphia, saying he missed his family.
"None of us really know what brought this about," Custus said Tuesday. "You just want to see the boys come out of the neighborhood.
From the time they're young kids, you really want to see them make it. And he was right there."
